The music of this album is based on synthesis between avant-garde jazz and
various modern jazz styles. Rich and modern musical language formed by
polyphony and interesting melodic section. Original themes by each musician are
mixed together with famous, beautiful and the most effective themes of various
great jazz masters. The marvelous synthesis between bebop, post-bop, neo bop,
hard-bop, free jazz, creative and experimental jazz are synthesized with unique
playing manners by each musician and interesting sound. Musicians are revealing
their masterful abilities – their music is full of brave and evocative musical
decisions, have colorfu, effective and innovative instrumentation and bright
sound. All musicians are improvising with passion and especially expressive –
their music is full of active, rapid and vivid solos, which are changed
silmunateously. Marty Ehrlich reeds melodies give us a wide spectre of
different colors, tones and sounds. Expressive and turbulent saxophones, vivid
and rapid solos of clarinets, deep and vibrant bass lines, dynamic rhythmic and
sharp harmony form the basics of his improvisations. Bright and loud clarinets
are contrasting with expressive and vivid saxophones – these instruments are
used silmunateously and effectively go along together. Soft, gorgeous and
interesting flutes are the opposites for harsh, dramatic, turbulent, vibrant
and intense blow outs of saxophones and clarinets. Deep and static bass lines
played by bass clarinet, form solid rhythmic basement. Musician masterfully
switches between different and contrasting tones, sounds, manners, expressions,
experimental and traditional ways of playing – all these elements are mixed
together and bring effective and remarkable sound.
